retrograde

just watched dogma, which i've been meaning to do for ages...



it was great, bless kevin smith...

alanis morrisette is a weird looking lady, she looks like she belongs in a circus... and she's god...

anyway, i just turned on voyager, the star, sky software thing that i like, that i've got set up like a astrologer would have it, the planets and the sun (but no moon for me, she moves too quick) arranged around the ecliptic...



and i see that mars is right on the border between cancer & leo, my sign and my brother's sign...

i'm curious which direction it's moving in so i press forward in time, and it drifts into leo proper, i press backwards in time and it drifts into leo proper...

which means it's balancing, right now, between moving backwards and forwards.

it turns out that it's been moving backwards (retrograde) for almost 3 months, and in almost 2 hours it's going to stop moving backwards and start moving forwards again...

it didn't quite make it back into cancer, it's teetering right on the edge...

dinah & her mum & dad are astrology people and all i know about astrology comes from living with dinah, she used to speak of mars being in retrograde as being a difficult thing... so i'm all for an end to a difficult thing...



ok, the talented mr ripley... which now i remember is based on the same book that plein soleil is based on, and i think i didn't which this one when it came out because i felt i should watch the older, french one 1st, alain delon...



which i never did, and now here i am watching the talented mr ripley... and i might have read that book...? and mars will reverse it's direction (relative to the earth) in less than 90 minutes... and i've got to be up for work in the morning... i'm a fool x
